Forward with Nostalgia
In 2013, a small team started making game controllers because the ones they wanted to play with did not exist. Not because the market needed another generic gamepad. Because there was a specific gap: the feel of a classic controller from the 80s or 90s, with the wireless freedom and modern compatibility of something built today.
That was the original brief. It still is.
The first products were Bluetooth gamepads that looked like they had been pulled from a vintage console box but connected to a phone, a laptop, or a Switch without a dongle or a compromise. The idea was not to sell nostalgia as a gimmick. It was to treat the design language of early gaming with respect—the tactile response, the weight, the silhouette—and then engineer the inside to meet current standards. A controller that feels like 1988 but works like 2024.
Over the following years, that approach expanded. Arcade sticks with real Sanwa-compatible components. Mechanical keyboards with chunky retro keycaps and hot-swappable switches. Mod kits that let people convert original hardware into wireless controllers. Adapters that bridge old consoles to modern screens. The catalog now covers gamepads, arcade controllers, keyboards, mice, adapters, and accessories. The common thread is not a specific platform or a specific era. It is a standard: if it looks retro, it should feel authentic. If it connects today, it should work without friction.
The brand has also become known for official collaborations. Licensed Xbox controllers, Street Fighter League sponsorship, and limited editions built around specific game communities. That work matters not because of the logo on the box, but because it forces a certain discipline. A collaboration controller has to meet the same functional standard as everything else. The aesthetic can change. The reliability cannot.
What separates this from a typical peripheral company is the refusal to treat the past as a costume. The design references are deliberate—the button shapes, the color palettes, the industrial design cues. But the internals are not compromises. A wireless controller that drops connection is not retro. It is broken. A mechanical keyboard that feels hollow is not nostalgic. It is cheap. The engineering brief is simple: make the outside feel like a memory and the inside feel like it was built for today.
